My ash arm bellows is bad and I bought a new one. I found some info on the wiki, but it doesn't give me any step by step instructions for replacing it. Doesn't look too hard, but would rather ask first.
Thanks Rick

Bixby normally provides instructions with every part that it sells.
Most or all Bixby instructions are posted on Quark's Corner.
This page looks promising. http://www.scribd.com/document_collections/2286263?page=4
Try the first doc, there, called Repair Kit Instructions Bixby Energy Systems. It's a large doc. My rural internet right now is glacial, so that's as far as I can go for now. If you find the instructions, pls let me know. I'll put them in the WIKI.

I replaced it last night. Tight area to work in.
One thing I would add to anyone replacing this bellows is: Use some WD 40 on the four bolts from the outside and from inside. I sprayed WD 40 all four of the bolts that hold the bellows in place on the outside, but the bottom two bolts still broke off. I would also spray them from the inside. Looks like trouble to get them out from the outside. Might be able to get them out from the inside.
